Yamaha's Shocking Motor Design
Faster & Lighter than a 4-Stroke!
Here is a wonderful article straight from the pages of Dirt Bike magazine. Is it possible that the Two Stroke will regain some ground this year? Plus how cool is it that it is called the new weapon?
Ultimate Open Class Maico
For those riders striving for the ultimate open class weapon on which to do battle look no further, the monster Maico has arrived. Back in the day, circa 1979-1982 when men were men and women definitely didn’t run motocross companies! The 490 Maico was considered to be the ultimate open class bike. 27 years on and it looks like the German marque may be set to snatch back the title it once held with the 700cc two stroke missile.
Following a year’s development work carried out by Southern Motocross Chief Tony Ford, the monster Maico is now available in England via importer Maico U.K. with a demonstrator on hand for those who wish to attempt breaking the sound barrier to the first corner!
Despite the fear instilled into many by the engine size and the rumoured output of around 80 B.H.P. anyone familiar with the iconic brand will find the same smooth power delivery pulling right from the bottom end.
Speaking last week Maico U.K. boss Lesley Watton said “We have had massive interest in the supermoto versions of the 620cc and 700cc in England and have daily enquiries from around the globe for the M.X. version and can now offer what must be the ultimate open class bike to every horsepower hungry motocrosser in Britain”.

Service Honda
At Service Honda you will find the home of the modern 500cc two stroke motocrossers. These machines are not for the weak of heart or mind. They demand excellence. In return you get a machine worthy of any opponent.
There are now a few new models available from Service Honda. For those that enjoy the retro look they have a David Bailey Replica. I'll take two!
For the new year they are offering a Kawasaki KX500 version. This is a pre-production prototype photo.
When you speak to the folks over at Service Honda tell them you found out about their bikes from the Two Stroke Militia.
